Dear Current and Future Friends:
It’s that time of year again to prepare for Johnny B’s 25th Annual Scotch Doubles Candlelight Bowling Party! The 2019’s date is Friday, May 10th at Beverly Lanes in Arlington Heights. Proceeds are being donated to Ronald McDonald House Charities of Chicago via our new sponsor, the Chicago Blackhawk Alumni Association. (SEE ATTACHED INFORMATION) Most of the money raised is generated through our raffles and 50% of our prizes are donated. Donations are tax deductible.
This year I am trying to match or exceed the $16,100 raised at last year’s event. To accomplish this goal, I will be selling special raffle tickets prior to and during the bowling party. These tickets can be sold to anyone - friends, family, and co-workers, because the winner need not be present to win. This raffle will be for our BIG prizes. Last year our BIG prizes included: an $800 Weber Grill, Cub and Sox baseball game tickets, rounds of golf, and well filled liquor baskets. This raffle costs $5.00 per ticket or 5 tickets for $20.00. At the Candlelight I will have our usual dollar raffle for dinners, services, sportswear, collectibles, etc. I hope you will open your heart and support our efforts for this very worthy cause with a donation I can use in one of our two raffles.
Again this year I am looking for Alley Sponsors. The cost is $300 per alley or a pair for $500. This is a special way for businesses that want to be part of the fundraiser, but do not have a product or service to donate to be actively involved. All alleys that are sponsored will have a large professionally made banner announcing the Sponsor’s Name. We are hoping that this added revenue will help keep us over the $16,000 mark this year and every year!
For more information on the Candlelight, Alley Sponsorship, the Chicago Blackhawk Alumni Association, or the raffles contact me, Johnny Burke, at home: 847-991-0861 (be sure to leave your phone number and area code) or call my cell phone after 3:00 p.m. at 847-274-7591. Together we can make a difference in the lives of sick children and their families.
Sincerely,
Johnny Burke

P.S. If you are donating a gift certificate, please date it six months to one year
after the date of the Candlelight. Thank-you.
